Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

This is really dependent on what kind of holiday you are after, if you don't want to drive and want to be near the action this is not for you, but neither is anything in palm cove tbh (you should be staying in Cairns if this is you)
Good budget but high quality option for longer stays. The apartments really have everything, are new, comfortable and very spacious. Nice pool too. This property is a short drive to the beach, and in a good location in between cairns and port douglas/daintree so great for those who are happy to drive and want somewhere quiet to unwind at the end of the day.

It was a long walk to get to the beach and shops in the heat. However there was plenty of parking onsite.
Spacious, quiet apartment, great air conditioning, really comfortable bed, kitchen equipment: everything you need. Staff were very helpful and polite. Swimming pool and outdoor furniture were super for relaxing.

- • One-Bedroom Apartment

The rooms were a bit outdated and worn out. I would say some renovation would be welcome. The bathroom did not have a fan working well. Some corners of the room were not cleaned properly with dust accumulating. I would definitely recommend steam cleaning sofas / armchairs from time to time also.
I liked the swimming pool and the surroundings. It's not a busy area, very residential. The rooms are decent, big plus for a nice kitchen with everything included, great balcony and a good view. The price definitely competitive in Palm Cove. Thank you for having us!

The room was nice and the kitchen was clean. However, a number of corners of the room were not cleaned properly with dust accumulating. I would recommend steam cleaning sofas/armchairs as they were itchy. The sheets were also stained on the sofabed. We booked this hotel based on the pictures of the tennis court, there was no tennis court!!
Location while away from town was lovely. Pool was pleasant and a great way to unwind.

The Sebel is not to be confused with the Accor coral coast residential apartments. I was ‘upgraded’ to the Accor building and only after 2 hours of arguing with staff was I allowed to stay in the Sebel.

A couple of broken things within the accommodation buy nothing serious, like a light bulb and a shower shelf which was loose.
Very comfortable and well furnished accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of palm coves main esplanade. Only stayed one night as part of our Honeymoon tour but would have gladly stayed longer if the time allowed. Great it has a sofa bed, and a dedicated bedroom. just jncase the snore got too bad for the missus.
